The tip about going back and doing a shelf on the mid & duck on the side super useful for fixing some audio I'm restoring. Voxengo has a standalone Corellmeter plugin that comes in handy alongside SPAN. I don't produce just restore and your tips always help 😀
This is a great example on why it is important to mix in mono! It's such an overlooked technique but so useful. I always used to go for huge and wide sounds with synths, strings and guitars but whenever it was played back on mono equipment I lost all character. An alright technique if you want a wide sound yet not out of phase is also doing quad-tracking. Having 2 channels 100% left and right and 2 channels at around 50-80% left and right with the volume set a bit lower. This also allows you to sidechain the second signal differently so it doesn't conflict with other instruments in the mono mix
I just wanna say THANK YOU AHEE! I really , really brought my mixing game up to the next level with your little tips and tricks ! Especially the one , where you keep the lows as the same level as the highs. And today I was checking my song in Span with the correlation meter and it was sometimes a bit out of phase and I was scared, that I couldn't fix it. I searched for AHEE again, and violà you have the perfect solution! ( There was a Synth, that had low end i cutted earlier , but after saturation I forgot to cut it again.) And I am happy, that I learned something really helpful today!
i love going back on your older videos and im constantly learning despite having already seen your videos a while back. always a nice refresher ! hope youre well man !
Bro are u a damn alien????? I swear i was tweaking those useless eq, compression knobs for like a week to make my lead sound perfect until i saw your video and realized that im having a lot of phase issues on my melody, i instantly made my melody more mono and i found out that making it correct it makes the melody stronger and even more wider feel, THNAK YOU SOO MUCH !!!!!
not necessarily, you have the ability to process the split frequencies you don't have to just use it for mono the video is just 1 example. ive been using this rack for a while and its super convenient to have if you want to add effects to only a certain frequency of a sound, for example to only add delay on everything above 1k. i feel like most of these racks have their characteristics, but the really useful racks in this pack are the ones that pertain to mixing, especially the hi lo splitter because its the one i use the most.
Always quality posts man. Even after watching plenty of videos about mono compatibility and phasing, your multiple in-depth examples really helped me understand the concept.
actually you don't ask the speaker to be in different places at the same time. What happens is that the speaker plays the sum of all your signals or tracks. And the sum of two phase-inverted sines is zero, so it cancels itself out
Infected Mushroom also has a plugin called "Wider" that lets you widen 200% without ever going out of phase. You can also achieve this with a eq 8. Using mid side.
Yes but 200% wide is technically out of phase. Those plugins are for ppl who don’t know ish. For example there are plugins that have a “wobble” knob. It’s just an lfo. Using those crap vsts made for marketing is a terrible idea for anyone who wants to understand what they’re doing. Doubt infected mushroom even uses it.
6:30 why dont you just apply a lowcut with a mid/side eq after widening? whats the difference between this technique and splitting, then adding width to the highs?
There is a misconception about phase and polarity. What it’s called phase in the video its actually polarity. Phase is the relation of time between two identical signals. Ex. We can generate 2 sine waveforms with same amplitude, frequency and polarity. Then, if you shift the second signal 1/4 of cycle (90 Degree). We will have a difference of 90 degree phase between the signals. Now if you change the polarity of the second signal (90 Degree Shift + Polarity 180) then we will have a lower amplitude on the summed signal while the first example the summed signal we will increase the amplitude. In a mathematic viewpoint they are the same but in a practical example they don’t. This is why the two terms are so confusing. Great vid anyway!
Love your technical vids, and your racks are epic! Would love a walk through of splatter mouth, it’s a giant tune and you did a great job mixing all that content and making it huge.
Yo,AHEE thanks to uproad some great videos everytime ! I wanna know how to use Producer's sample packs which great influence to produce track myself. sorry for my english is bad ,because im japanese .
Only check the phase when you have 2 or more tracks. Pan 1 tack hard left and the other hard right and check the phase of them together on the master bus. Once you got the phase corrected you can then return them back to their original panning positions.
Couldn’t you just use eq-8 in mid/side mode and do a steep cut on the sides channel at whatever cutoff frequency you wanna make mono? Obviously you wouldn’t be able to do additional processing to the highs and lows independently... but for this application it’s less steps and would actually prevent any weird crossover artifacts.
awesome video! I do have one question though (I'm new to production). Should I apply this high low splitter to every single bass track or can I group the tracks and put one splitter on the group track? would that do the same thing or would it be better to put one on every track?
I assume It'd be better to apply another splitter to every track and change the high low frequency cut offs based on which frequency's those tracks are creating? Apologies if this makes no sense haha
Dalai Jamma u could but I wouldn’t recommend it is not a linear phase split, but on individual elements early in the chain should be ok, but always gotta listen 👽🤟

or 2 channels with 2 return tracks :)

THIS TECHNIQUE LITERALLY JUST SAVED MY TRACK..... super helpful! thanks for this
Dude, I’ve been working on trying to fix one of my Serum presets for a week straight. I really owe you one brother. Great video. 😎
i love going back on your older videos and im constantly learning despite having already seen your videos a while back. always a nice refresher ! hope youre well man !
out here making the world sound better. look at yah 😘

Ableton 10 has a "bass mono" feature on utility, which is exactly what you built with the rack
not necessarily, you have the ability to process the split frequencies you don't have to just use it for mono the video is just 1 example. ive been using this rack for a while and its super convenient to have if you want to add effects to only a certain frequency of a sound, for example to only add delay on everything above 1k. i feel like most of these racks have their characteristics, but the really useful racks in this pack are the ones that pertain to mixing, especially the hi lo splitter because its the one i use the most.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING THIS AND SHOWING US EXAMPLES AND SOME SOULTIONS TO THESE PROBLEMS BEST TUTORIAL ON THIS TOPIC HANDS DOWN
Tp bassline is a good tool too you can select which frequency range you want in mono and has a width knob
Always quality posts man. Even after watching plenty of videos about mono compatibility and phasing, your multiple in-depth examples really helped me understand the concept.

"stick with one, and just turn it up" 👍
So simple👌🏿👌🏿🙏🏾
YOU SAVED MY MIX! GOD BLESS BRO
You're a great teacher man, thank you for sharing your knowledge in the way that you
BRO...... sub to this guy. You saved a few of my tracks bro. Tears of joy.
Good stuff. Needed this explained just the way you did. Liked and subscribed. 🤘
AHEE you are the savior we all needed all of your videos and racks have completely brought my production to new levels thank you!!!
I love you Ahee I am learning so much so quickly
That didgeridoo song slaps!!! Great vid. Thank you.
U SAVE MY TRACK!!!! LOVE U!!!!

this is exactly what i've been looking for. thank you
Oh！Amazing！That’s what I‘m looking for and I just struggling for this a long time！Thanks！

Great vid anyway!
6k views. 400 likes??? Something ain't adding up. I appreciate this man!! I haven't even realized ive only been working in mono.
What about using mid/side compression to solve the phasing issues?
Love your technical vids, and your racks are epic! Would love a walk through of splatter mouth, it’s a giant tune and you did a great job mixing all that content and making it huge.
19223 I loved the process of mixing that tunes, was a good challenge, great idea.
would vitamin work the same at 7:00?
hey man, appreciated, very helpful.
this tutorial is lit ..........really helped me for mixing in mono
mid side EQ works like a charm. Thanks Aliens:)
So much of value!
bro you're dope and this video was great. thank you.
6:45 In live 10 just click the utility "bass mono" button
Wow amazing tutorial!!
Loooove the tut duuude thanks!!
Really digging your tutorials bro, stay awesome. :)
Thanks for another great tut bro!
Can you get the Hi Lo splitter to logic pro x
The world thanks you
1:13 I can still hear it... faintly.
so in your example with your tune, out of phase means there is more info on the sides than there is the center? thanks
Nice job - thx for sharing.
This helped me a ton! Thanks brotha!!
I think you just saved me! Thank you!!!
Awesome vid man
or just use fabfilter Q 3 and cut the lows with the stereo band
Great vídeo dude.
you a legend sir, bless
Yo,AHEE
thanks to uproad some great videos everytime !
I wanna know how to use Producer's sample packs which great influence to produce track myself.
sorry for my english is bad ,because im japanese .
I get phase issues when I turn on unison in Serum and I can't figure out how to fix it without destroying the width. Please Help!!
try setting the amount of voices to an odd number so theres always something in the middle ? :)
Dope video, cheers!
yooo we need a vid on turning that didgeridoo into a lead bro
Master, thank you
if ou put the signal in mono span won't detect phase issues, as it's imposible for a mono singal to be off phase, so that doesn't solve the problem 🤔
Only check the phase when you have 2 or more tracks. Pan 1 tack hard left and the other hard right and check the phase of them together on the master bus. Once you got the phase corrected you can then return them back to their original panning positions.
@@380stroker super logical! Thanks
wow. this was extremely helpful!! thank u
Does phase problem eat the level and make the track low on volume?
great video! love the way you explain stuff:)
SOOOO GOOD, THX
Top content man!
Great video!

Obviously you wouldn’t be able to do additional processing to the highs and lows independently... but for this application it’s less steps and would actually prevent any weird crossover artifacts.
Span tells you if you have any phase problems though without doing anything.... If you just run it in dual mono mode that tells you...
The best one
Legend!
awesome video! I do have one question though (I'm new to production). Should I apply this high low splitter to every single bass track or can I group the tracks and put one splitter on the group track? would that do the same thing or would it be better to put one on every track?

Could you put your hi-low splitter on your master channel?
Dalai Jamma u could but I wouldn’t recommend it is not a linear phase split, but on individual elements early in the chain should be ok, but always gotta listen 👽🤟
That's exactly what i needed ... Thanks 👍
did need this knowledge! so much problems... :) utlity is my friend. edit also found relay from izotope.
Great tips thanks man 👍
Correlometer is much better than SPAN, it gives you more information about phase correlation than SPAN.
Pretty sure the didgeridoo is replacing serum in 2020
lol
1:08 essentially this is how noise cancelling headphones work
some people are just advanced
👍
u forgot to turn down the random ;)
Good Luck at Lucidity!
i'm in dire need of this information, but your corniness is not something i'm willing to tolerate at this time. i'd rather suffer.
👍
